I dont blame you! I respect Cheat's football skills but that's about it.

Hard to find stud edge rushers. A bad season might be just what we need to make a super bowl run next year.
Packers currently have the 18th pick. Only time they picked 18th (1990), they drafted Tony Bennett.
Our first priority has to be to fire Capers... until that's done, it doesn't matter where we draft, or who we draft.
I do not understand how a team with so many first round picks spent on defense can seem so inept. Let's say you bust on 2/3 of the picks, well they would still have 1/3 that are solid players. In general, it does seem scheme and teaching related. I don't see too many players making the leap on defense to go from rookie, to solid, to star.
I think their philosophy on defense is fundamentally flawed. We run 2,3-4, but the organization doesn't value LB's highly enough - specifically inside linebackers. Add to that their inexplicable attraction to soft, poor tackling corners, and dunderdummies addiction to abandoning the middle of the field, and you have the mess that is our defense for years running now.
I think those deficiencies are glaring and obvious, but TT and co. don't seem to get it. So floundering along we go - year after disappointing year.
A great start of that and any real reality would have been to see Ted Thompson make some kind of a significant move before the end of the Trading Deadline this (2017-18) Season.
What did Packer GM Ted Thompson do?
NOTHING ! ... ZERO ... Diddley Squat ... Natta !! ... Sweet 'F' All
He has again decided to play his Marble Game with chipped marbles.
As usual he was in his latest Episode of:
Disappearance.
Packers have the 15th pick.
Packers have the 16th pick. Last time they had the 16th pick, they took Justin Harrell.
lol
I think it is time for Capers to go, but for this game, the defense actually played well enough to win, especially given the three turnovers to start the game. It's the offense that is stinking up the joint, and to that end, I am profoundly disappointed in Hundley. He seems absolutely averse to stepping up into the pocket, and he just does not seem to be able to find the open guy when guys are actually open. I thought he would be much better than he has been so far.
Looks like ol' Fritzy was wrong on this one.
